Chapter 353 Sour

Since that day, Su Qingqing and Rong Que have been awkward for several days.

Ever since the two of them confirmed their relationship, Rong Que has always been passionate, sincere, and gentle towards Su Qingqing.

Now he was gentle and caring towards Su Qingqing, but Su Qingqing could feel that he was angry. There was a layer between them.

Rong Que was angry. Su Qingqing knew what it was, but she was also angry.

She said that was the fundamental solution to the problem, and there was no other suitable person except her.

At this time, with their country and family at stake, their identity and status are there. Since they enjoy the supreme status, they should make corresponding efforts at all costs.

In the imperial family, the interests of the family and the country always come first.

Su Qingqing understood this principle very well when she was still General Su.

She lives too rationally, so rationally that she is almost losing her humanity.

There is no other way. She is commanding thousands of troops. If reason cannot overcome emotion, how can she win one victory after another?

The battlefield is a place for choices.

She can never say what she wants to choose or what she doesn't want to choose, she can only say what she needs to choose and what she doesn't need to choose.

Su Qingqing was in a bad mood, but that didn't stop her from packing her bags to prepare for her departure. In fact, there wasn't much to prepare, just some personal belongings.

As for the other things, Su Qingqing had already asked Doctor Sun to take some of them with him when he left Beijing.

Jixiang stood behind Su Qingqing, watching her packing her things, and sighed, "Your Majesty, you and His Majesty can't..."

Before Jixiang finished his words, there were footsteps and the voices of maids bowing outside. It was Rong Que who came. Jixiang paused and stopped talking.

The beaded curtain swayed, and Rong Que pushed aside the curtain and came in. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Su Qingqing packing her things. His originally gentle face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes were so gloomy that it made people feel uneasy.

Jixiang bowed hurriedly and left.

After Jixiang left, Rong Que stood at the door without moving. He looked at Su Qingqing with a sullen face, "Do you really have to do this?"

The tone is very bad.

Su Qingqing picked up the last thing and put it in her bag. She turned to look at Rong Que with a calm expression, "It's not that I have to do this, it's just that I have no choice."

Rong Que clenched his fists and his eyes were red.

"I ascended the throne and became the emperor, but I can't even protect my own woman. Do I even need you to come forward to provide disaster relief?"

They had been holding on to their anger for several days.

I was clearly worried about the other person, but the words I said were somehow filled with anger and thorns, like barbed wire. Every word I said was so sharp that it hurt my heart and made my muscles bleed.

Su Qingqing bit the inside of her mouth and chuckled, "I have never positioned myself as needing your protection."

Rong Que was furious and said something he didn't want to say, "Yeah, you never needed my protection. Who are you? You are the majestic General Su. You took the world and the throne for me. How could you need my protection? I need your protection more than anything else!

Can't I protect my own children?

If I don't protect you, can I protect the child? "

His voice is a little hoarse.

Su Qingqing retorted without giving in, "Why, if I take him out now, are you going to find another stomach to put him in? Just save the small one, no need to save the big one!"

This remark irritated Rong Que in some way. His red eyes suddenly shrank. He took two steps forward and grabbed Su Qingqing's arm. His voice was hoarse and he said, "You know that's not what I meant."

Su Qingqing stared at him. "Whether you mean this or not has nothing to do with me. You also said that I don't need your protection, and I don't need you to tell me what to do. Didn't you say that I built this country and gave you the throne? So what do you think I want to do?"

Without waiting for Su Qingqing to finish her equally thorny words, Rong Que grabbed her in his arms and held her tightly, tightly, fearing that he would miss something if he let go even a little.

He buried his head in Su Qingqing's neck, "Do you have to be so cruel?"

He said this in a low, hoarse voice, and Su Qingqing felt a pain in her heart when she heard it.

She also knew that her words were hurtful, but she was still angry. She was not a gentle and considerate person to begin with, and adding fuel to her fire would only ignite her anger completely and make her reveal the ruthless side of General Su.

Rong Que's voice softened, and Su Qingqing also softened, "It's not that I'm cruel, I just have no choice. If you send someone else, he might be able to clean up the situation, but the price he pays may be very high, and thousands of people will die.

You are not a tyrant, and I am not a violent general. Neither of us can treat human life as worthless.

If I don't go this time, it'll be fine if nothing happens there, but if something does happen, I'll never be able to let it go for the rest of my life, because those are human lives, nothing else."

How could Rong Que not know Su Qingqing's thoughts and intentions.

But this was not someone else, it was his beloved. Over there, Duke Xue was colluding with officials, merchants, and the underworld. Regarding the matter of Concubine Qi, Duke Xue was even more resentful in his heart. How could he not let out a sigh of relief?

He couldn't bear to let Su Qingqing take risks.

This is the person he holds in his hands.

He hugged Su Qingqing tightly, tears falling from his eyes.

Su Qingqing felt the warmth on her shoulder. She was stunned for a moment, really stunned. She never expected that Rong Que would cry.

He raised his hand and touched Rong Que's arm, patting it gently, "Don't be afraid, I will definitely come back safe and sound. I'm not stupid. There are times in war when you have to surrender, not to mention this."

Rong Que originally just shed tears silently.

He just felt pain, swelling, sourness and bitterness in his heart, and his eyes couldn't bear it either.

But as soon as Su Qingqing said this, his silent tears turned into low sobs.

The man cried, like a wild animal growling and whimpering.

He cried for himself and for Su Qingqing.

From the time Su Qingqing came to the Dayan Dynasty until now, she has not had a single comfortable day.

When other people are pregnant, they live a peaceful life, but his beloved is the only one who is worried about him while pregnant.

Why is my life so hard?

Following him, there is no good day. Every day is filled with fear and worry.

Wrapping Su Qingqing, Rong Que bit her neck gently, tears mixed in his eyes, "Why is it so difficult for us?"

Su Qingqing's eyes were also sore.

Yeah, why are they so difficult?
